text: Reuters reports Russia's military intervention in the Syrian war has all but destroyed a deal agreed last month to halt fighting between warring sides in two areas of the west, unpicking a rare success for foreign-backed diplomacy in the four-year-long conflict. Implementation of the deal agreed with U.N. help to extricate rebels from the town of Zabadani and trapped villagers from al-Foua and Kefraya has effectively been shelved following Russian air strikes in support of President Bashar al-Assad, three sources familiar with the talks told Reuters. While local ceasefires in both locations continue to hold, this means it may be only a matter of time before fighting there resumes between insurgent groups on the one hand, and the Syrian military and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah on the other.

Great buy posted on 09/12/2014 by Mary
Lightweight and strong and arrived quickly excellent
Phew good purchase posted on 02/12/2014 by dingdongs
Having read a lot of reviews of various wheelbarrows which made me realise there were things to beware of that Id never even thought of this one sounded as though it would be reliable and fit the bill It was on special offer so even better It arrived swiftly and my husband put it together with no complaints It is now being happily used to transport logs across a big courtyard of shingle by myself and my mothers carers and I was very pleased with how it handled seems to be sturdy yet light x28Im a mere 7 and a half stone and not in first flush of youth Thank you Greenfingers sadly dont have a garden ourselves but I may be back
Very good value in sale posted on 18/12/2012 by greengnome
At the sale price - this represented excellent value. It is easy to put together. Wheel "washer/spacers" were a bit basic but the wheelbarrow has a good overall feel and balance and is easily manoevrable.
Good product posted on 28/09/2012 by S Wilson
I'm very pleased with the wheelbarrow - lightweight but sturdy. It should last for a long time. It was very fiddly to assemble it, especially doing it by myself. One of the reviewers earlier mentioned that you should not tighten up the bolts until they're all on - this was a great tip and ensured that I could get all the bolts into position.
I loved it posted on 24/08/2012 by tryer
Well I like to do puzzles. It was an enjoyable and challenging puzzle for me to put together, but I got there in the end - single handed, I might add. It's been an absolute work-horse - nice and light for me to handle too.
excellent value posted on 15/08/2012 by alan_parkes
A really sturdy barrow to replace my old one which finally collapsed after much hard work. Relatively easy to assemble, makes a very solid and useful barrow. I can thoroughly recommend it.
Cheap and Cheerful posted on 21/07/2012 by Farmer Palmer
Arrived on time, easy assembled as long as you leave all the bolts loose until it is all bolted together then tighten them up at the end.
Great family Christmas present posted on 28/12/2014 by KG
We bought this wheelbarrow for our family who have just moved into a new house with a large gardenIt arrived in good time as promised and they all had fun building it while staying with us at Christmas The children had rides in it around our garden so it has been well used already
Good Value posted on 04/12/2014 by Fenella
I had read other reviews about self assembly wheel barrows being a challenge to assemble This was no different Luckily my partner was on hand to help It took about 40 mins to assemble The drilled holes didnt line up which made it a task to put together Once all that was done I was happy with the result
Nice one posted on 18/09/2013 by eyemere
Fast delivery and pretty easy to assemble. Not used in anger yet but looks sturdy.

Live updates: Israeli-Palestinian violence
Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
22 Apr 2011 18:51 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Iraq, United States
The chairman of the US military's joint chiefs of staff has said that Iraq must decide "very soon" if it needs American forces to stay beyond a planned departure at the end of this year.
Admiral Michael Mullen is the latest US official to visit Baghdad in the run-up to the upcoming pullout, with the same message that Iraq must make an urgent decision on troops.
"Should the Iraqi government desire to discuss the potential for some US troops to stay, I am certain my government will welcome that dialogue," he said on Friday."But it needs to start soon, very soon, should there be any chance of avoiding irrevocable logistics and operational decisions we must make in the coming weeks.
"Time is running short for negotiations to occur."
Al Jazeera's Jane Arraf, reporting from Baghdad, said that Mullen identified areas in which the Iraqis might require help."He identified air defences, intelligence and sustainment [meaning] the ability to provide food, water and equipment," she said."Those are things the US would like to continue to help with."
She said it was clear that the US "would like the Iraqis to ask, but they need them to ask pretty much now".Iraqi responseMullen's public comments came a day after Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, said the Iraqi army was up to the task of maintaining security."Prime Minister Maliki said the armed forces and the Iraqi security forces were able to take responsibility, and that they worked with professionalism," a statement from al-Maliki's office said on Thursday.
His remarks to Mullen reiterated those he made to John Boehner, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, who visited Iraq last weekend.Sandwiched between Boehner's and Mullen's trips was a visit by General Martin Dempsey, the US army chief of staff.Fewer than 50,000 US troops are currently stationed in Iraq, down from a peak of nearly 170,000 following the US-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein in 2003.All of those troops must withdraw from the country by the end of the year, according to the terms of a bilateral security pact.
Robert Gates, US defence secretary, said during an unannounced trip to Iraq on April 8 that American forces were prepared to stay in any role beyond the scheduled pullout, but he too said time was running out for Iraq to ask."My basic message to them is [for us to] just be present in some areas where they still need help. We are open to that possibility," he said. "But they have to ask, and time is running out in Washington."
A senior US military official said last week that Iraqi leaders should not expect US forces to return to help in a crisis after they have pulled out.

William C. Parker, Chief Executive Officer of MIT Holding, Inc., said, This is a major breakthrough in stopping the spread of infectious disease such as malaria, dengue, and the West Nile virus. Our goal in developing this product is to address and help alleviate the four major problems surrounding mosquito-carrying infectious disease: occurrence of drug-resistant malaria, absence of a vaccine for dengue, population of insecticide resistant mosquitoes, and the current cost of malaria and dengue control. The PROVECTOR device can be used both within households and outdoors and is intended to be available at an affordable price, reducing the financial burden that current treatments often carry. Working in tandem with MEVLABS and Georgia Southern University, MIT Holding is honored to be at the forefront of developing the PROVECTOR, a possible solution to the growing, devastating, worldwide problems that these infectious diseases inflict on the global population.

" I visited Footwear etc. in San Carlos, CA for the first time yesterday, and it was a great experience. I had a salesman who proceeded to pull up his little chair to fit me in a pair of Earth comfort pumps with about a 2" heel. When I complained of a couple different pressure points, he stretched the shoes in those area--and the problem was gone! Outstanding service, and a fabulous selection of beautiful styles throughout the store. It's quite a distance from where I live; but I'll make the drive in order to have a selection of marvelous looking comfort shoes. Thank you to Jim Wells for such excellent service."

Time Varying Behavior of the Loudspeaker Suspension
The suspension part of the electrodynamic loudspeaker is often modelled as a simple linear spring with viscous damping, however the dynamic behaviour of the suspension is much more complicated than predicted by such a simple model. At higher levels the compliance becomes non-linear and often changes during excitation at high levels. This paper investigates how the compliance of the suspension depends on the excitation, i.e. level and frequency content. The measurements are compared with other known measurement methods of the suspension.

Category: Mountain Culture
Babes in Bluegrassland
They grew up with rhythm thumping around their little heads, learned to dance before they could even crawl and were dragged off to many music festivals by parents. They live in a high-altitude paradise with the sounds of birdsong, rivers, wind in the aspens and communal jams, so it's no wonder mountain children are predisposed to music. They may be mere babes in the wilds of the industry, but they've proven themselves to be very old souls in the world of picking, songwriting and performance. They are the next generation, the new breed of singer/songwriters, and they're unafraid of expression, full of vim, creativity and a sassy grasp of their possibilities.
Sol Chase blew into Crested Butte on a gypsy wind when he was only six years old in August 2004. "I was traveling around 13 different countries with my dad, living a communal-centered, nature-rific alternative lifestyle," the well-articulated 13-year-old says, painting a vision of a nomadic spirit most kids could only dream of. "My dad and a friend taught me guitar at the age of three. We were busking for many years, playing a lot of music on the streets of Europe. From age five, I could follow along on the songs and sometimes put out my own guitar case and for a couple hours I'd make 20 to 30 Euros. We'd set up on the streets and play whenever we went into town. From town to town, we'd camp somewhere and go into town once a week to buy groceries and play music. We'd busk to get enough money to get to the next town. It was a gypsy life and it was definitely fun. It exposed me to a lot of different cultures. I've got more of an open mind to other things, and I feel I'm a more well-rounded person."
By age six, Sol had switched to mandolin as his main instrument because of the smaller size and he enjoyed the sound. Sol and his dad Merrick also switched mountain towns and uprooted themselves to Telluride, where there were more musical opportunities. "When my dad and I came to America, one of our first stops was at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. I loved the music, I loved the atmosphere, the openness and friendliness. I actually got to play on the main stage that year," Sol remembers, fearlessly plotting a course for the limelight. "I wanted to play, but it seemed unobtainable, it seemed super important, but I kinda thought it was possible right after Yonder Mountain String Band played." Sol told his father he wanted to get up on stage and play immediately. "Like NOW, so my dad lifted me over the back stage fence. I had my guitar and dad was on bongos and I played three songs. I played one of my originals ("Last Train to Berlin") and then played two old-time gypsy songs ("Raggle Tangle Gypsies" and "Go Move Shift"). People still remember it today. It was pretty awesome. I don't think I quite realized the enormity of it, but my dad was freaking out. I was just playing to play," he chuckles.
Sol's influences draw from a tight genre: Yonder Mountain, Jeff Austin, Chris Thile and Drew Emmitt, the latter of whom Sol has played with several times. "I'm definitely bluegrass; it's my thing," he says. You can hear Emmitt's influential style in Sol's picking. Adept and lightning fast, his fingers know their way around a mandolin with surprisingly tasteful riffs for one so shy in years. "I haven't really met anyone who started as young as I did," Sol admits. "Some of the now-famous musicians started young. At this year's Telluride Bluegrass Festival in June, I played with a guitarist named Bella Hudson. She's 12 and lives in Evergreen. I met her last year at the kids' tent at the Bluegrass Festival."
"I had a feeling that I had to write songs and play music because I wanted to express myself in music," says the 12-year-old Bella Hudson, a singer-songwriter who picked up a guitar a mere four years ago — but as a matter of perspective, it's a third of her life. "I've written 20 songs and recorded 12. Growing up in the mountains with the views, a song will hit me when I'm looking out the window, and they're my best songs."
Telluride Bluegrass Festival has a history of being really supportive of kids in music, and kids get the benefit of serendipitously and spontaneously connecting. "I met Sol and we were jamming at the Festival," Bella says of the 2010 Telluride event. She was asked to play on the main stage that year and came home super charged and inspired, having performed in front of thousands of people. "This spring, Sol and I recorded three songs together at Immersive Studios in Boulder, one of mine called 'Cowgirl Prom'." Bella and Sol worked on each other's music for this year's Telluride Bluegrass Festival and performed a mini set to about 12,000 people in a Saturday morning slot. "I wasn't scared. I was really excited!" she enthusiastically giggles about the fabulous reception both she and Sol were given for their originals.
Although Sol loves to play and create, he has a clear vision of at least his immediate future. "People ask me if I see music as a career. I don't really think I want to take it to a pro level as a career. I already have an EP on iTunes, and I'm working on a full album. My interests are more in math and sciences. This fall, I'll be attending my first year of high school at Phillip Exeter Academy in New Hampshire."
Although he's taking his mandolin and guitar along to school, "There are so many academic areas I'm interested in that I won't have much time to take the music courses offered."
His talent isn't going to fade away anytime soon, though, and music has a way of permanently attaching itself to one's future.
Bella admits with well-earned, smug joy, "I've sacrificed soccer and swimming for my music. I practice every day, so it takes time from my homework and any sports I could have done. But since I've been in music, it's been everything to me, and I don't miss anything that I've had to give up. It's what I want to do with my life." Rock on little sister …

Life on the Road: Run-ins with Peace Officers and Real Mountain Cops
Not everyone can pull off "Fire on the Mountain," be it in sound or action. Peace Officer learned its lesson from real mountain cops.
Not long after the hip-hop/reggae/dub crew formed in 2007, the artists stretched beyond their socially conscious vocab by playing with fire.
After a gig in Estes Park with a guest trumpet player, the Fort Collins-based crew proceeded to its comped resort suite. Around 3 a.m., they noticed the trumpet player and his young, loud pal had disappeared, something that relieved more than worried them — until the fire alarm went off.
"The player and his friend ran into our room with terrified looks on their faces, which were also covered in a gray powder," said MC, guitarist and self-proclaimed nice guy Andy Kromarek.
Seems they set off the fire extinguisher, not thinking it would trigger an alarm (and apparently not considering consequences of the thick powder that would cover the entire hallway, either).
"Not a good scene," nice-and-innocent guy said. "It looked like smoke in the air, and with the alarm going off and it being 3:30 or so, the other guests in the place were starting to freak out."
What exactly does a cozy mountain retreat scene gone bad look like?
One scared-out-of-his-wits, fire-extinguisher-curious pal who erupts into tears and admits he's only 17, so please, no one tell his mother — to which the Peace Officers replied, "We won't, if you won't tell her where you got the beer".
One pissed-off mom of said 17-year-old in her pajamas (that's all the description you want on this one) screaming she's suing the resort because she tweaked her ankle in the mad rush to fresh mountain air,
One Honda with a trumpet in the back, squealing outta Estes as fast as it could, and
Just about every cop in Estes on site. (They may not have seen this much action since Stephen King insisted the second and more true-to-his book version of "The Shining" be filmed at the Stanley Hotel).
"At this point, things looked dire for the band, and with a few policemen striding toward us, we didn't know what to expect," Kromarek said. "Turns out they were amused by the whole thing — I guess Estes Park is generally a pretty boring place for a cop." Still, the stickler cops wanted the name of the trumpet player. When the musicians claimed they didn't know ("it was 4 a.m., and we were drunk, so that seemed like a good idea," the MC said), the cops threatened them with paying for every guests' hotel room — as well as the by-now-decidedly broken ankle in PJs. So they ratted their horn player out (once, not twice, for the Mountain Gazette world to read).
It seems cops come pre-cut with the urge to always get the last word in before letting young people loose; they are the smart-ass sages of safety. For me, it started at age 16 when I raced my neighbor-boy home (launching my parent's Oldsmobile over a huge bump in the middle of a bridge, which resulted in a very large dent in the bottom of the gas tank). The cop who pulled me over left me with the resounding words: "Remember, a car is not a toy." About a decade later, a Dillon, Colo., police officer pulled me over after I rolled through a stop sign (after, uh, speeding). When I told him I didn't have my driver's license on me because I was going skiing, he said, "Do you have your ski pass?" — to which I enthusiastically replied affirmatively and whipped it out, hoping it would give him the necessary clue he needed to confirm my nice-girl identity.
"You need a ski pass to ski, right?" he asked, looking me deeply in the eyes. I nodded. "Well, you need a driver's license to drive."
Needless to say, I missed that powder morning.
So what did the Estes Park cops leave the Peace Officers with?
"You know, you guys aren't Led Zeppelin. You probably shouldn't go around trashing hotels just yet."
Though Westword magazine just nominated the crew the best hip-hop in Denver and Peace Officer is playing larger festivals like Soul Rebel Festival in Denver and venues like Boulder's Fox Theater these days, they're not singing, or playing with, Fire on the Mountain.
To catch Peace Officers, sans alarms, in the next two months, check out Star Bar in Park City, Utah Aug. 18 or Snake River Saloon in Keystone, Colo., Sept. 9-10.

Books: Shipton anthology, Homewaters and podcasts
Books: "The Six Mountain-Travel Books," by Eric Shipton
British explorer and mountaineer Eric Shipton was a tireless adventurer, known for the first ascent of Kamat, then the highest peak ever climbed in the world, and early Mount Everest reconnaissance that discovered the route over the Khumbu icefall. Shipton's world travels, exploration and climbs were detailed in six books, long out of print, but re-released in a hardcover edition in 1997. Mountaineers Books has released "The Six Mountain-Travel Books" in one 800-page paperback edition: "Nanda Devi," "Blank on the Map," "Upon that Mountain," "Mountains of Tartary," "Mt. Everest Reconnaissance Expedition 1951" and "Land of Tempest." $34.95
Podcast: Off Belay Podcast with Chris Kalous and Jamie Lynn Miller
Chris Kalous and Jamie Lynn Miller have a lot to say about climbing, and almost none of it is about sponsored athletes, the newest, flashiest gear or news in the world of climbing, The Off Belay Podcast is a candid discussion of the important stuff. How candid? Well, maybe your dog doesn't belong at the crag. Or your kid. Maybe you should stop bitching when you show up at Indian Creek, the most famous crag in Colorado (oh, it's in Utah?), and there are dozens of other people there. Chris and Jamie have had a few guests on the show, but the highlight is their own banter — whether it's about online climbing forums, guns, hung draws or whatever. Between the two of them, Chris and Jamie have written for Climbing, Rock and Ice, Elevation Outdoors, Women's Adventure, 303 Magazine, Men's Health, the Snowmass Sun and others. And oh yeah, the Mountain Gazette, where Chris was the gear editor for a number of years. Jamie Lynn is also an on-air personality at Aspen Public Radio's Sonic Byways. The Off Belay Podcast might be the most fun you'll have listening to two people you don't know talk about climbing you haven't done. offbelaypodcast.com
Radio: ClimbTalk Radio with Mike Brooks and Dave McAllister
For a couple non-college students running a radio show late on Thursday nights from a college radio station, Mike Brooks and Dave McAllister have convinced an incredible number of huge names in the climbing world to come on their show, which is 60 minutes of fairly organized fun. Brooks, of frontrangebouldering.com, and McAllister of pumpfactoryroad.com, have brought in a laundry list of who's whos in the three years of ClimbTalk: John Bachar, Royal Robbins, John Long, Pat Ament, Jim Bridwell, Jim Erickson, Heidi Wirtz, Dave Graham, John Sherman, Jason Kehl, Peter Beal, Robyn Erbesfield and more. Brooks and McAllister keep the entire 60 minutes interesting, with their combined climbing knowledge, Brooks' conversational instinct and McAllister's bouncing-off-the-walls energy. ClimbTalk began in 2008 as a climbing TV show on the Boulder cable-access channel, then a radio show on KGNU and is now at its current home in KVCU, the radio station on the bottom floor of the UMC at the campus of the University of Colorado. The show airs at 10 p.m. MST every Thursday night, and can be streamed at that time from radio1190.org. Past shows are stored at archive.org/details/climbtalk. I plan to talk McAllister and Brooks into making the show into a podcast by the end of summer 2011, as well, so keep your eye on the iTunes.
Books: "Home Waters: A Year of Recompense on the Provo River," by George B. Handley
Handley, a literary critic and professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, masterfully intertwines nature, the Mormon responsibility to take care of the environment, spirituality and family over a year of exploring the Provo River watershed. As a Hemingway fan and student of old-school newspaper journalism, I appreciate Handley's ability to write about his environment, not with the over-the-top flowery adjectives and endless lists of flora and fauna used by many a nature essayist, but with the language of a writer who knows how to draw a scene using only the right words. Handley has the literary tact to make this book accessible to non-LDS readers, making the faith part of the story, not the story. "Home Waters" will get you thinking about what's in your own backyard, and whether you need to travel far, or at all, to ponder and understand nature. $25, uofupress.com

Bob Chamberlain's Mountain Vision #181
After walking to the top of this rocky Thirteener, looking, as usual, for skiable terrain, I signed the summit register, for the first time ever. It was partly because I had never seen one before, anywhere, and had no ida that to actually do about it, but I signed the date, ace my name, and appended my affiliation with the "Eleventh Mountain Division," the "Disrespectful Sons of the Tenth," of Aspen, Colorado.
That done, I scrabbled down, over some monstrous scree, to welcome groves of Aspen, bordering the main forest thick green Spruce and Fir. It began to rain, harder, harder and harder, until I was reduced to hunkering down completely under my pancho, waiting for it to pass, or at least let up some. When it didn't do either one, I had to get up and move anyway, on the forceful advice from the rain-soaked Indian scout in my imagination, and my father in his military presence, as well.
Finally the rain moved on, and left me facing groves of Aspen, interspersed with small open "parks," meadows of grass and wildflowers. Navigating from one to the other, I suddenly entered one in which someone had made a campsite. The tent was zippered tight against the rain, and everything looked to be in order except for a lone item hanging from an improvised clothesline, on the opposite side of the clearing. Coming closer revealed it to be an inexplicable item of swimwear, hanging by itself, in the middle of nowhere, with no one in sight. The sensuous shape it had assumed immediately suggested to me that there was some girl running around out here in these woods without her swimsuit! A nude on the loose! In the rain, too! Ahhh, Magic strikes!
I fiddled around with my Nikon as long as I could, hoping someone would show up with an explanation, but it was not to be. I finally found a path leading out of the clearing, and reluctantly went on my way. I followed the path until it came to a small stream, which, on close inspection, seemed to have an uncanny resemblance, bordering on identity, with a spot on Conundrum Creek where I had photographed many years ago.
No sooner had I recoiled from pondering the identity over time and through space of this event of recognition, than, only a few yards more along the trail, I encountered two young girls with backpacks, trailing a small black kitten. Well, of course! Doesn't everyone? They had just come down from a Fourteener, which one they didn't say, and yes, the kitten had walked all the way to the summit.
I recited my experience with the empty swimsuit, and confessed to having made a photograph of it because it looked like a Nude on-the-loose, but they didn't respond. Well, I joked, the worse that could happen would be that someday they might see the swimsuit hanging on the wall of a gallery somewhere. Still no comment, Oh, well they're probably too tired to think about any more activity of a physical kind today, anyway!
Come to think of it, I'll just limp on down the trail myself.

A new brewery opening is always good news, and having one take shape in the challenging economic environment of a mountain town is even better. This September, Telluride Brewing Company will open its doors in the Lawson Hill area of Telluride. A joint project between long-time Smuggler's Brewpub head brewer Chris Fish and business partner Tommy Thatcher, TBC is intended to be a production brewery, with distribution of canned product and 22-ounce bombers to begin locally in southwest Colorado this fall. Tastings will be offered at the brewhouse, with the full lineup of TBC brews to be available at the Llama Restaurant and Pub on Main Street in town. The final decisions as to which styles of beer will be offered initially were not set at the time of writing, but Fish indicated that he thought a Rye Pale Ale might be the first out of the gates, as he has won medals at the Great American Beer Festival for that style of beer in the past. The grand opening celebration is planned for the week of Blues & Brews, and TBC will be pouring at the festival as well.
The 18th Annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival will take place September 16-18th in Town Park. The party really gets going during the grand tasting on Saturday, this year featuring 53 breweries from across the West. The musical lineup is slightly different than in years past, with Willie Nelson headlining, along with the Flaming Lips, Robert Cray, Big Head Todd, Dweezil Zappa and Moe. According to event press director Bill Kight, the intent this year was to attract a broader audience and then expose them to some serious blues musicians alongside less-traditional blues music. I personally consider Willie among the top three on my list of the greatest living Americans (the other two being Bob Dylan and Jimmy Carter), and hearing the mellow notes and bourbon-smooth sound of his guitar and voice flowing pure and true through the crisp fall air at 8,750 feet is reason enough to make the trip.
If you do go, be sure to stop in at the newly re-opened Baked in Telluride for some tasty goodies. Following a tragic fire that destroyed the entire building two years ago, owner Jerry Greene undertook the arduous task of rebuilding the establishment, a process completed this past June when the doors were opened in time for the summer season. Though he used to produce and serve his own beer, BIT now serves several styles from Smuggler's on tap.
For some reason, September is the month to celebrate the greatest of all beer holiday, (and perhaps the greatest of all holidays, period), Oktoberfest. Based on a fairy tale originating from old Germany, the annual event, supposedly commemorating some dude's wedding, is celebrated around the globe, and makes a wonderful excuse to get together with a couple thousand of your closest friends and neighbors to drink beer and eat brats in the streets of a friendly mountain town near you. Seriously, claiming meaning for Oktoberfest is about as ridiculous as the messenger of Easter being a magic egg-laying, long-eared mammal. Having attended my share of these celebrations in various locales across the West, I will call out the annual event held in Durango, Colorado, at the end of the month as my personal hometown favorite.
Up in Keystone, the 15th Annual Bluegrass and Beer Festival will take place August 6-7th at River Run Village. Featuring dozens of breweries, and tastings on both days of the event, this festival bears particular attention as bluegrass legend Peter Rowan and his Bluegrass Band will play two full sets on Saturday, and a third on Sunday. A one-hour song-writing/guitar-picking workshop session with Peter is also on the schedule for Saturday morning. If you don't know his history, as a young man, he was a member of the Bluegrass Boys backing up the grandfather of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe. In the early '70s, he, David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, Vassar Clements and John Kahn formed Old & In the Way, a traditional single-mic unit that began a bluegrass revolution that is still going strong today. I personally own and operate something like 50 albums and live recordings of his music spanning five decades, and make sure to get tickets whenever he comes to Colorado. At the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in June, he introduced his song, "Panama Red," by saying, "Some people think this song is about drugs. Some people think that I take drugs. But I don't need to take drugs … I AM ALL DRUGS." Can I get a yee-haw to that!?

Rednecks Everywhere
Honey Island Swamp Band claims its Bayou Americana makes you smarter, thinner and better looking — but frontman Aaron Wilkinson also admits to being a fifth-generation North Florida redneck.
The musicians have traveled from their home base in New Orleans throughout the West to play in such fine establishments as The Goat Soup & Whiskey in Keystone and Whiskey Jacques in Ketchum, Idaho; this Fourth of July, the band, voted Best Roots Rock Artist in OffBeat's 2010 Best of the Beat Awards, hits the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, Ore.
Wilkinson wasn't sure what to expect when the band began touring Colorado's mountain towns, even though now, after years of traveling, they're all beginning to blur together, he said.
"First time I'd ever really seen mountains, so I was all wide-eyed and full of wonder," Wilkinson said. "Guess I kind of had an idealistic vision of what it would be like, nature and all."
About six years ago, he and his crew followed a Telluride-area local to "secret" hot springs back in the hills.
"The city slickers in the band were huffing pretty heavy," he said about the hike, which was a piece a cake for the locals. "You're not prepared for that thin air, and we don't exactly lead the healthiest lifestyles anyway. But after about an hour and a half of stopping every 50 yards so that my 55-year-old emphysemic drummer didn't keel over and die, we come upon the spot."
Situated at the bottom of a rocky bluff, it was gorgeous, just as advertised. Only problem: It wasn't so secret; a rather portly man soaked in the pool with his cluster of kids — and at least a case of empty, crushed Busch cans beside him.
"He had on this bright red bandanna and a pair of those heinous reflective Oakley Blades," Wilkinson said. "He's all, 'Come on in and join us,' and we probably would have, given what we went through to get there."
Just as the band was about to join the pool party, a train appeared on the ridge across the river, and the 6'6" man stood up, hollering and flipping off the train.
"Turns out, he's butt-ass naked," Wilkinson said. "Proud of it too. With his kids right there in the pool with him. Giving that train all he's got and all God ever gave him.
"Needless to say, we didn't join him, but then and there I realized something: Florida, Louisiana, Colorado — there are rednecks everywhere in this world, God bless 'em."

Movies: "Cold" by Forge Motion Pictures
A good adventure-sports movie, no matter what sport it covers, usually accomplishes one thing: It makes you, the viewer, want to go out and do whatever it is those athletes are doing on film in that beautiful location, at your own speed — mountain biking, climbing, skiing, whatever. "Cold" is an achievement in that, instead of inspiring you to climb an 8,000-meter peak in winter, it makes you want to go home, curl up in the fetal position under a down comforter, and not come out.
The film begins with photographer and climber Cory Richards hunkered down in a tent at 21,959 feet, as the viewer is informed that the temperature is -51 degrees F., and can see that the inside of the tent is covered in snow. Richards asks, "What the fuck am I doing here?" And over the next 20 minutes of the film, you will ask the same thing. Richards and mountaineers Simone Moro and Denis Urubko summited 26,362-foot Gasherbrum II on Feb. 2, 2010, succeeding in the first winter ascent of an 8,000-meter peak in the Karakorum Range.
"Cold" gives you an up-front seat to all the post-holing, avalanche burials, whiteouts and the high-altitude coughs. Anson Fogel assembled Richards' tirelessly filmed footage, and, with writing help from Kelly Cordes, won the Best Adventure Film at the 5Point Film Festival this spring. This is not three guys smiling for one moment in a summit photo. It's real pain, cold, suffering and misery — high-altitude winter mountaineering at its best. It may not be inspiring, but it is amazing. forgemotionpictures.com
Books: "The Way Home: Essays on the Outside West" by James McVey
In his third book, author and University of Colorado professor James McVey takes the reader along on his experiences in the backcountry — hiking, running rivers, backcountry skiing and fishing — and provides scholarly depth in each experience, weaving history, ecology and philosophy into classic nature writing. McVey draws on 20 years of venturing into Colorado's backcountry, from places as popular as Boulder's Chautaqua Park to the solitude of a post-rafting season run of the Green River through Dinosaur National Monument.
The collection of essays in "The Way Home" provides rich writing with a solid balance of adventure and nature, and the question of our place in all of it. McVey writes of a day of backcountry skiing on Wolf Creek Pass: "But the truth is, something else drives us out here to the geographic backbone of the continent. What lurks there in our tangled psyches? What genetic baggage left over from the days of sabertooths and woolly mammoths?" $19.95. uofupress.com
Bob Chamberlain's Mountain Vision
Somebody once said to me, "You sure do a lot of things you don't want to do!" Well, I don't know, last week I had my feet up, cruising on Trout Lake in my little slip of a sailboat, and now I'm looking at a sign pointing out the trail to Hope Lake. Great! That's me, Hope Lake!
So it's Hope, hope hope, "the Boys are Marching!" Hope, hope, I hope it's not too far! I hope, hope hope it's really worth it! I hope there's snow, I hope the wildflowers are out around the lake. I hope there's not a lot of mud from the run-off to slog through, I hope there's a rock to sit down, so I can put my ski boots on. I hope no one has to see this grizzly knee brace I have to wear. Hope I can hide my shame from the full, bright summer sunlight.
It's okay, Peter is already near the top of the couloir, he won't see a thing! I hope I can catch up. Catch up, up, up, and wipe the sweat out of our eyes. Hope, hip and a hop, and we're on the top!
Peter goes first, so I can shoot a pass-by, my un-favorite type of ski photo. The Nikon goes into my jacket, and then I'm off! What a relief just to let 'em run, after a whole winter of squeezing through the trees! I pass Peter by, because it's just so easy to keep on going, over the sun-cups freeze-melt, long, wide turns — "SVOO-pers!" — and then you're down. Right to the edge of the scree. But how could it be over so soon? There's got to be more!
That's Hope Lake — hope, hope, all the way home! What's "Hope"? Hope is just having a project into the future. Something like, "Live to Ski Another Day."

…Seriously, New York Times? Seriously? Does that paper even look at the material that American Bridge sends them, these days? (more…)
Because stories like this won't hurt him.
I'm not 100% unconvinced that the Rubio campaign isn't the source on these Rubio leaks http://t.co/ajfbX0HSnV pic.twitter.com/AiSfJLVcSa
— JustinGreen∞ (@JGreenDC) June 9, 2015
I mean, wow. Marco Rubio took some of the money that he got from a book deal and bought himself a boat. Does anybody in the New York Times actually talk to anybody outside of their cozy little epistemic closure bubble? …I mean, aside from people at Politico, of course.
Moe Lane
PS: Hey, New York Times: $14 million net loss for the last operating quarter, I believe? Since we're keeping track, and everything.
I know that RedState has already covered the remarkably weak-tea 'revelation' that the Rubio family racked up some traffic violations, but it's an even more tawdry-to-Democrats story that we thought. As in… amazing what you can write when you get fed a story, you know what I mean?
The New York Times Friday report that Republican Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and his wife Jeanette have been cited 17 times for traffic violations was written after the citations were pulled by liberal opposition research firm American Bridge, according to Miami-Dade County court records.
Records show that each of the citations mentioned by the New York Times were pulled in person by American Bridge operatives on May 26, 2015.
He can also spare the rest of us the passive-aggressive racialist shi… stuff.
Makes you wonder what that site's balance sheets looks like.
The problem is simple: both men are Senators in states where you cannot run for two federal positions at the same time. The answer is equally simple: neither should run for President in 2016. Rand Paul should stay in the Senate and be an awesomely cranky Senate Majority Leader*; and Marco Rubio should run for governor of Florida in 2018 and get ready for 2024.
There. Problems solved. That should have cost each Senator five thousand dollars apiece in consulting fees, but apparently those jobs are all locked up already.
Moe Lane
*Seriously, there's all sorts of things that you can do to a federal bureaucracy from the top.
Piss him the hell off.
Fourteen minutes' worth of Cuba apologists' guts being made into garters, including the apologists in Congress. Oh, my, yes, most assuredly the apologists in Congress. Watch it even if you're still mad at Marco: you probably won't stop being mad at him, but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that Tom Harkin is quietly seething because there's no way he can match Senator Rubio's ability to put the rhetorical boot in.
Moe Lane
This specific bad idea is courtesy of Hot Air: apparently people want to recall Marco Rubio (:shaking head: I told you guys, no Senators. I did!) over immigration. This is the checklist that you have to go through, to recall Marco Rubio:
Allahpundit sums it up pretty well:
The menu for Sunday TV brunch: Marco Rubio with a side of Marco Rubio, served a la Rubio with just a sprinkling of Rubio on top. He'll be on all five major shows this morning ("the full Ginsburg") plus Univision plus Telemundo to sell the Gang of Eight's new "earned amnesty."
In case you were wondering, the full Ginsburg is named after William Ginsburg, attorney for Monica Lewinsky: he managed to appear on all five major Sunday morning political talk shows in the same day. In 1998, this was an accomplishment; these days, it's an opportunity to exercise some cynicism. A look at the folks that have done this since then has shown that the maneuver has been done for a variety of reasons and causes; but Rubio's (and, earlier, Jeb Bush) certainly upped the ante on this one.
Moe Lane
PS: As to the proposal, itself… frankly, I think that 95% of the arguments on this, pro and con, are resting on an extremely flawed premise: which is to say, we are ever going to see a return to the high levels of illegal immigration that occurred in previous decades. You can say that I found What to Expect When No One's Expecting's arguments otherwise to be highly persuasive.
Via The Morning Jolt, via The Washington Examiner: Marco Rubio's turning the water thing into a schtick, which is exactly what you do to make third-party jokes about it seem… lame.
Be very, very afraid. Because it's not just Rubio. We're prepping a whole bunch of people this go-round who can actually play the game.
Not much need for analysis on this one, but generally: Marco Rubio's speech was solid, well thought-out, and aside from that water bobble thing (which he smartly made fun of himself, afterward) on-key. Rubio is good at this sort of thing, which is one major reason why the grassroots went with him early in 2010. As for Rand Paul… I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that the man is a sarcastic so-and-so. Which was, in its way, a great response to Barack Obama's opinions, which are far too often quite profoundly silly.
I'm sure that people are going to try to mock the Rubio water thing, but I wouldn't sweat it too much. God knows that it's not like Obama's rhetorical gifts are going to overshadow it, based on THIS SotU address. That was… boring. Horribly, horribly boring. Even by Obama standards.
I could live with this. More importantly: so could probably 50+% of the electorate, which I suspect is getting thoroughly tired of this issue.
[Marco Rubio's] wholesale fix tries to square—triangulate, if you will—the liberal fringe that seeks broad amnesty for illegal immigrants and the hard right's obsession with closing the door. Mr. Rubio would ease the way for skilled engineers and seasonal farm workers while strengthening border enforcement and immigration laws. As for the undocumented migrants in America today—eight to 12 million or so—he proposes to let them "earn" a working permit and, one day, citizenship.
Those proposals amount to a collection of third rails for any number of lobbies. Organized labor has torpedoed guest-worker programs before. Anything that hints of leniency for illegals may offend the talk-radio wing of the GOP.

Where he's going, he doesn't need gasoline
But, again, it's a commuter car.
The trunk has plenty of room for my laptop and camera, which is about all I carry.
Before picking up my new car last week, I first downloaded CNG Now's Fuel Finder app, which locates public CNG fueling stations on a map.
According to CNG Now, 19 stations blanket the Oklahoma City metro area with eight in Tulsa and another 45 scattered throughout the state.
Dedicated CNG vehicles are not for traveling cross country. Not yet anyway.
Stations are scattered thought the country, but with my 200-mile range, I would have a hard time making it too far outside Oklahoma.
But the efforts of Chesapeake Energy Corp., Oklahoma Natural Gas, Love's, OnCue and others have made it easy to travel on CNG throughout the state.
But I'm still a little paranoid about running out of fuel.
It's been a while since I have run out of gas, but I have cut it close several times.
In a gasoline car, running out of gas would be annoying, but it wouldn't be too difficult to walk to the nearest gas station, fill up a gas can and return to my car.
But if I run out of CNG, I'd have to have my car towed to the nearest CNG station, which might not be very near at all.
I'll probably just fill up more often, keeping plenty of gas in the tank.
Topping off my tank every few days for less than the cost of a hamburger is a small price to pay.

Trivia: Detroit Metal City
- Defictionalization: For The Movie, several CDs were released by Detroit Metal City as well as other bands in the film. This includes DMC's "SATSUGAI" & "Maoh" (coupled with Souichi Negishi's "Amai Koibito" and "Raspberry Kiss"), and Makai Yuugi, the Kintama Girls' "Detarame Mother-con Cherryboy", MC KIVA's "From NY City", and Tetra-pot Melon Tea's "Sally my Love". And this was in addition to the film's soundtrack and another album featuring songs by bands that Negishi wanted to emulate (one of which was in the film).
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Live action L is live action Negishi.
- And Jack is played by none other than: Gene Simmons! Appropriately enough.

Bearded Nowitzki can't extend Mavs' playoff streak

(Eds: Updates. With AP Photos.)

AP Sports Writer
DALLAS -- Dirk Nowitzki was a baby-faced kid barely old enough to drink the last time the Dallas Mavericks missed the playoffs.
Now he's a bearded veteran who can't shave because he and others vowed not to until the team got back to .500.
Dallas still has a shot at a break-even record, but will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2000.
An unexpected loss to lowly Phoenix, which snapped ...

The Moto X Play's blend of everything you'd expect from a higher-end smartphone with a customisaible waterproof design and a great price makes it a superb midrange phone.
iPad and iOS news
Apple's tiniest tablet is an overdue upgrade.
While the upcoming 12-inch MacBook has all the buzz, this 13-inch system gets a handful of updates to remain a top choice for combining power and portability.
With better battery life and performance than the Yoga 3 Pro (not to mention a lower price), the Yoga 3 14 is one of the best hybrid deals around.
The latest iPad is a 12.9-inch powerhouse that offers an optional keyboard and stylus.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is satisfyingly simple tablet, but its lackluster screen and relatively high price make it forgettable.
It needs a little more refinement, but overall the Sony A7R II is a great camera for folks who need a high-resolution full-frame model in a more compact design than a dSLR.
The large, sharp screen of the 9.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is great for watching media and playing games at home or on the road.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2's brilliant screen, plentiful storage capacity and slender build make it a great tablet for everyday use at home or on the go.
